Thank You: to all who have helped to give me an education on the internals of the Lionel Remote/Command Switches.
I did do some debugging this morning and I did find my problems. The folk who did the original assembly did what I would call a poor job. I found 3 thing that I changed and the switch and the remote controller are now working fine. Including with the PowerPole connectors. on both switches on that module. Item 1 was actually found yesterday and was reconnecting the Yellow wire to grey connection blocks inside the switch. what I found was the wire had not been stripped enough and fed properly under the clamping copper under the nut and tightening screw. Item 2 found the same problem with the Red wire as well. Looks like the assembler stripped the wire end and shoved into place but was not making sure it went in and under before tightening it down. The wire mostly bunched up into a ball and made an intermittent connection. Red just fell off when I touched it. Once I had inserted correctly and tightened down, I was able to verify continuity to both sides of the grey attachment block. Then I check the Black and Green and made sure they were correct. The third item was the red wire itself from the attachment block to the PowerPole connection. It failed the continuity check, this was problem 3, so I cut it out and replaced it with a new red wire. Recheck everything with power before buttoning it up for the fourth time. Then re-positioned all of the track for that module and tested everything again. It Works !!!
Again Thanks everyone.
